List of English newspapers in Dubai and UAE added. Most popular (in descending order) are probably
- Gulf News - best one for general information about Dubai
- Khaleej Times - sometimes has good commentary
- Emirates Today
- 7 Days - best for entertainment (the letters page) and more provocative articles (sort of)
- Gulf Today
Agree, disagree? Best news source overall is none of them. They try but restrictions on press freedom in the UAE mean they seem to tiptoe around sensitive issues that are newsworthy. Dubai and UAE stories in the international press and newswires like Reuters, AP that are potentially problematic are either ignored or rewritten to avoid the controversial parts.
